If your question is asked because of a specific person and case -- I would advise you to advise the person to ask a good attorney.

No specific person or case or what-have-yous, just an article I ran upon this a.m.

I would think should I ever run into this situation a good attorney would be mandatory, but do my best to avoid breakin' any laws or runnin afoul of felonious behavior.
